The typical November day is N on
which the atmosphere is lowering and
depressing, although there may be no nc
tual storm. In some households such
weather constantly prevails, and, as n
general thing, no one knows-t the reason.
The causes, patiently traced, usually
center in some one member. He may
not have what is usually meant by "a
bad temper and may go on, day after
day, giving others little cause for active
complaint against him. And yet his
personal atmosphere is so depressing
that the constitutionally sober are made
melancholy by his presence, and the
light hearted find themselves deep in the
blues.
81 don't see why everybody complains
of my manner" once said n most esti-
mable gentleman. I'm sure / don't
easily lose my temper, and / never say
disagreeable things"
"Ah, but you always look as if you
were thinking them, and that's worsei"
answered n candid friend.
Repressed criticism is, indeed, some
times harder to bear than n frankly ut
tered complaint.-Youth's Companion.

l say again, profit, profit. For a
cutaway cashmere business suit, S35,
is the correct price. A Prince,
Albert blue or black cashmere is
worth from $40 to $50, and no more.
A broad cloth Prince Albert can
be made worth 500, but to do this
the tailors use a kind Of cloth that
very few tailors use. There is an
immense amount of money literally
thrown away in buying clothes.
This thing OF getting SIS suit is
simply a waste of money. No
decent appearing, well wearing suit
of clothes can be made for SIS.
On the other hand, paying all the
way from $40 to 500 for single
suit, as very many of rich, fashion
able people do, is all nonsense. 1t
is simply an utter impossibility to
put 800 worth of cloth in a single
suit. As | have said, the great art
of buying clothes is never to get
anything simply because it is cheap,
and on the other hand never buy
anything simply because it comes
out of a big, well-known store and
has a high priced card on it, but use
your own judgment and don't be
led away by a smooth, oily-tongued
salesman"

How to Buy Clothes.

Boston Herald. "This pair of
good shoes for ST." was a sign that
attracted the attention of a reporter,
as he walked down Washington
street a few mornings ago. As the
shoes, to all appearances, seemed TO
be worth many times their adver.
tised price, the reporter stepped
in and asked the proprietor how he
could afford to sell such a shoe at
such a cheap price
"Cheap"! answers the proprietor,
laughing; "why, that is the most
expensive shoe we have in this
house. Moreover, it is the most ex-
pensive shoe in all Boston. That
shoe sells for 81. 1t is worth so
cents. For real wear ii is not
worth 10 cents. Its uppers are
made out of the very cheapest sort
of leather, generally rotten, and its
soles are almost all paper. One
good wetting will make the whole
shoe fall to pieces. But my trade
demands it, There are always per
sons who buy thing, no matter
whether they want it or not,
simply because they see it adver-
tised as cheap. Then, again, there
is that much larger class of persons
who believe in handsomely clothing
their barkeepers, while they them
selves go in rags. These people
! invariably buy that shoe, and then
go and spend what would get them
a really good shoe in whisky or beer.
| say frankly, that no 81 shoe is
worth buying. Nor is any 81 shoe
worth buying. There is no greater
mistake that persons can possibly
make than to buy excessively cheap
goods. But, of course, this idea
of getting good things can be, and
very often is, carried too far Very
many persons, and some who can
really i'll afford u do so, pay $40
and $l2 for a pair Of shoes. No
shoe can made thatis worth over 81.
All over that amount is profit, and
giving SIP for any shoe on earth
is Just simply throwing away 80.
"The great art in clothing ones
self is TO observe just and healthy
mean, not only in regard to shoes
but in regard to every other article.
I Now, for instance, here is hat
that sell for $l.25. For real wear
it is not worth IS cents. 1t will
fade, and if it once gets at all
wet it will loss its shape. a good
derby can toe bought for $3.50. All
over that is profit These aerbys
that sell for S. are not one whl'
better than those you can buy tor
$3.50 and the extra $3.50 simply
goes as profit to the seller, or to
help paw am eNhorilant rent IN some
fashionable location. For beavers
the correct price is SIS. | know the
fashionable hatters charge s. for
their silk hats, but the extra s.
like the extra $3.50 on the derby
goes either to profit or an eXtraya-
gantrent.
"How much should man pay
for a suit of clothes? Well, that
depends upon what sort Of SUIT
he wants. For a good business
WOODEN suit he should not go over
$50. Oh, | know how suits ire
quently sell for s45 Or $50, but

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our REGULAR correspondent.

Prom our regular correspondent.
The most important event of the
past week at the Capital was the
meeting and organization of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and its entrance upon duty. Every
thing wears look of activity at the
temporary headquarters of the new
court, which consist Of suite of
rooms in building on f street.
Messengers are running to and fro
all day long, and the ante-room is
filled with a crowd of people anxious
to interview the new officials.
The latter are having all the
trouble that was predicted would be
theirs, and that belongs to every
official who has the making of an
appointment. They are beseiged
with letters and personal applics-
tons for Office from every state in
the Union. The first discussion Of
the Commissioners over that intri.
cate piece of legislation which they
are called upon to interpret, referred
to the LONG and Short Haul
clause. Judge Cooley, the president
of the Commission, who is Re
publican, is admitted to know more
about law and railroad matters than
all Of them put together Therefore
there was no contest over his election
to the craftsmanship.
The National Drill committee is
now very busy. The entries have
all been closed, and now the work
of scheduling is being pushed as
fast as possible. Besides the com,
mands entered, regiments, batal-
lions, batteries of artillery, cadet
corps, zouave companies and a large
number of band and drum corps,
the number of individual compel
itors is estimated at about 100, and
many more will contest in the rifle
practice.
The committee of arrangement,
is very sanguine that the coming
show will eclipse anything Of the
kind that has ever occurred in this
country, and as to the telegram
from Montgomery, Ala, in regard
to the color line question, they think
it is exaggerated, and that it will be
overcome in time. Mr.. DeLeon, the
secretary of the Drill committee, is
of the opinion that outside Of
! Washington there is not coloreo
military company which can raise
enough money to make the expensive
trip, and if they can do that, i
would be difficult to pass inspection
Some weeks ago there were con
( lectures ar to the disposition of en-
tries known to come from colored
militia companies, many persons
Iintimating that if they were allowed
10 compete it would have the ten
deucy TO keep out many of the
white organizations. AZ that time
the manager said that all entries
received in proper form, duly signed
and recorded, should receive the
same attention, and that if che
Capital City Guards, Of Washington,
Glcd the requirements they could
compete just the same as the IA
nous Chickasaw Guards.
A National Drill could not make
q color requirement when the laws
of the country say otherwise. The
sequel of the news from Alabama
char the Greys and the True Blues
eould withdraw from the Drill be-
caase Of the entry of three colored

The promotion of Messrs. Fair
child and Maynard to be secretary
and assistant secretary of the Treas
ury, was received with expressions
of satisfaction from the employees of
the Department. More than a thou
sand of their subordinates called to
express congratulations, and flowers,
notes and kilograms of congratula-
ton have poured in. Mr. Fairchild,
who has never been an active poll
tician, is exceedingly popular with
those under him. He is very aces,
sible too. He makes a habit of
keeping the door of his Office open
at all hours of the day, and sits with
his face toward it.
There is constant complaint from
the sight-seers who are always
hurrying around Washington by the
thousand, that the Government De-
partments are closed to visitors after
two O'Clock p. IN. 1t is perfectly
proper to exclude all callers during
business hours, but none of the
clerks are interfered with by mere
sight-seers. 1t is a serious incon-
yenience and disappointment some
times to strangers who are here only
for a few days, and are trying to see
as much as possible in that time, to
be shut out so early in the day from
many places of interest.
